Stylistically diverse
Atlanta rockers
Ten Story
Relapse have chosen a unique way to celebrate the release of their fifth CD,
the intriguingly-titled
Buddha & The
.38. They’ve decided to combine that achievement — which also happens to
coincide with the band's 10th anniversary — with a one-night-only art
exhibit hand-picked by Atlanta legend Fay Gold and a benefit for The C5 Youth
Foundation of Georgia. TSR’s dynamic vocalist John Douglas sat down with
Atlanta Music Guide to discuss the band’s interest in the C5 organization, the
new CD, and the secret of playing with the same musicians for 10 years.
How did you become
involved with The C5 Youth Foundation of Georgia?
I found out about
them about a year and a half ago through a mutual friend and I was just so
impressed with the work they do, I wanted to help out in some way. I’d worked
with some charitable organizations before, but I’d never seen the dedication
these guys have.
What does C5
do, essentially?
They have a five year program that gives kids opportunities and tools to
overcome challenges and obstacles that would otherwise be difficult to overcome. About 300
kids are nominated every year and only 70 get accepted, but they have a 95-percent
college acceptance rate, which is pretty amazing.
So, what can people expect
musically from Buddha & The .38?
